Default Re: Is it Ok if I buy TICA Cert for my Cat

Dear Newbie, let me ask you: Who is this certificate meant to impress? You know your cat is not pedigreed. Any cat show judge will know the same. I assume you love your cat. Will you love it any more with a fake certificate?

Are you seriously considering doing this, or just trying to expose this nonsense as fraud (which it is)?

If you are thinking about buying the certificate, consider how much cat food and vet care various rescuers could buy with that RM1,500... That sum could pay for spay/neuter, vaccination and various treatments for HUNDREDS of stray cats! Do you love cats, or love certificates?

As for exposing this as fraud, if I were an honest, ethical member of TICA, I would investigate this claim aggressively. If this is true -- that certificates are for sale -- TICA certs will be worthless.
